Test result preview
The Namur bin box from Juskys made a good overall impression in our test. It offers a high-quality, weather-resistant construction made of galvanised metal that is ideal for outdoor use. The integrated ventilation slots prevent unpleasant odours and mould growth. The gas strut makes it easy to open the roof, while the lockable doors provide additional security. The generous storage space offers room for up to three bins or alternatively for bicycles and garden tools. The disadvantages are the time-consuming assembly, as many screws are required, and sharp edges, which can make assembly more difficult. Despite these minor shortcomings, the Namur waste box impresses with its versatility and stability. It is a good choice for anyone looking for a durable and functional solution for storing their waste bins.

As part of our practical test, we tested the Namur waste bin box in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. Assembly is time-consuming and complicated due to the many screws. In addition, some edges are sharp, which makes assembly more difficult. Once the product is in place, however, it impresses with its robust, galvanised metal construction, which is UV and weather-resistant and can be used outdoors all year round thanks to the sturdy frame. Ventilation slots ensure effective ventilation and prevent the build-up of moisture and unpleasant odours. Lockable doors with bolts and a roof that can be secured with a padlock ensure the security of the box. User-friendliness is ensured by the large, easily accessible doors and the automatic opening of the bin lids using chains. A gas pressure spring makes it easier to open and close the roof. Overall, the Namur waste bin box offers plenty of space and flexibility, even for bicycles or garden tools.
